Technical Data

The gearbox comprises two co-axial planetary stages arranged one behind the other. Both stages of the central gear unit are straight-toothed planetary gears with fixed ring gear and rotating planet carrier. The drive is achieved through the sun pinion. The rotating planet carrier is, at the same time, also the output drive shaft of the first stage. The planetary gears are supported on planetary gear axles in the planet carrier.

Gearing of the MAAG CPU central gear unit
The spur teeth of the sun pinion and the planet wheels are case-hardened and grinded. The toothed flanks of the sun pinions have both profile and longitudinal corrections to fully compensate for deformations occuring under load. This method guarantees optimum tooth flank contact and very long life. The inner gear rings are heat treated.

Gear Unit Types
Types range from CPU-09 to CPU-83
Power range from 1'000 to 10'000 kW

Coupling ZCF
The ZCF toothed coupling installed between the mill and the MAAG CPU central gear unit is a unique FLSmidth MAAG Gear design combining a high degree of freedom (alignement) with efficient torque transmission.

Coupling ZEXF
The gearbox to motor coupling ZEXF is a toothed coupling specially designed by FLSmidth MAAG Gear. With this coupling the gearbox is electrically insulated from the motor.

Lubrication System
The gearbox is lubricated by a closed circuit oil system which is ideally located beneath the mill drive motor. The design of the lubricant system is standardised thus it is applicable for several gear unit types.
